Wedding hog roast near Mottisfont
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For late-night wedding food and home weddings, we can cook salads, crackling and carved roast pork for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Mottisfont frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
For event organisers in Mottisfont
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

FAQs for Mottisfont
Do you come out to small places like Mottisfont?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Mottisfont from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
